What counts as a referral for Shopify stores?

You decide where a referral counts. This is the usual route, with the tools that report each step.

All integrations

A customer shares their link
From the referral page the app adds to your store, a floating widget, or your Klaviyo emails.
A friend gets a coupon
They sign up through the link and get a discount for their first order, by email.
It counts when they order
A first order through the link counts, even if the friend never signed up.
The customer gets a code
A unique, single-use discount code made in your store, and bigger rewards at milestones.

Each code is created in your Shopify store at the moment it is won, for example when the friend's order goes through. Read on the blog

FAQ

Shopify FAQ

Does the friend need to sign up before buying?

No. A purchase through the referral link counts as a referral even if the friend never filled in the widget.

Who gets which reward?

The friend gets a discount for their first order in the Welcome email. The customer gets a unique code in the Successful Referral email once that order goes through, and milestone emails carry the bigger rewards.

Is the customer rewarded for every order a friend places?

No. Every order by a referred friend shows in your dashboard as a referred sale, but the customer is rewarded once for each new customer they bring.

Can a reward be a free product?

Yes, as a milestone reward. Discount codes are created in your store automatically, while a free product is sent by you.

How much does it cost?

The template is on every Viral Loops plan. Through the Shopify App Store, the app is $49 a month for your first 1,000 participants and $20 for every 2,000 more, with a 14-day trial.
